Management: Vault is easy to manage and use, as it offers Web UI, CLI, and HTTP API interfaces. Save time and cost as you don’t need to buy and manage hardware devices for each department. Vault gives you more flexibility as it is distributed as a binary and can be deployed on multiple Platforms.Ĭost and Efficiency: One deployment of Vault can create multiple independent KMIP servers. Most hardware-based KMIP Servers only support specific HSMs.įlexibility: Most key managers are hardware devices and difficult to procure, manage and maintain. HSM Support: Vault supports integration with any HSM that supports PKCS #11. ![]() Different teams and departments can work independently of each other and have access to only their own keys and systems. Secure Multi-tenancy: Isolate different tenant environments for security and compliance. Vault complies with the OASIS KMIP standard. Note: the KMIP and HSM features are Vault Enterprise features.Ĭertified: Vault is validated, supported and certified for use by NetApp. Moreover, Vault can be integrated with an HSM for master key wrapping and auto unsealing. One of the latest enterprise capabilities of Vault is a KMIP Secrets Engine which is the best solution for external key manager requirements for enterprise storage systems like NetApp ONTAP. It is a simple, modern, scalable and highly automatable solution for management of all kinds of sensitive and secret data including passwords, keys, certificates, and encryption keys. ![]() HashiCorp Vault is the de-facto standard for managing secrets in multi-cloud and hybrid enterprise environments. Vault as an External Key Manager for NetApp Although NetApp does offer an onboard key manager, most enterprises must use an external key manager for compliance reasons as the keys must be stored outside of the storage system. NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) is NetApp’s implementation of Full Disk Encryption while NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) and NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE) are software-based, data-at-rest encryption solutions, available in NetApp ONTAP based systems. ![]() The NetApp ONTAP system, which is one of the most popular storage operating system in the world, offers FIPS compliant encryption technology that also supports the OASIS KMIP protocol. NetApp offers state of the art secure data management, file-shares, backup, recovery, replication and disaster recovery solutions to a large number of enterprises all around the globe. It is certified by NetApp, supports the OASIS KMIP protocol, and integrates with any PKCS #11 compliant HSM. HashiCorp’s Vault Enterprise on the other hand can be used as a flexible, very cost-effective, and scalable external key manager solution. All traditional solutions for a KMIP based external key manager are either hardware-based, costly, inflexible, or not scalable.
